Ulster lose their second home match to Connacht in as many years as Peter Sullivan dotted down after a Conor Fitzgerald kick in the final play of the game.
The main talking point of the game was Connacht’s use of the captain’s challenge to overturn a decision which allowed them one last attack in the game. On first glance it looked like Kieran Marmion had lost the ball in contact but when it was referred, Michael Lowry had stripped him on the floor with the challenge enabling Connacht to kick possession in to the Ulster 22m.
Jacob Stockdale, Rob Herring, Billy Burns and Dave Shanahan were on the scoresheet for Ulster in what was the 12th match this season where the side has scored four tries or more.
Ulster (12) 24
TRY: Jacob Stockdale, Rob Herring, Billy Burns, Dave Shanahan
CON: John Cooney, Michael Lowry
Connacht (7) 26
